In Plausible Legality, Rebecca Sanders offers a meticulous analysis of how governments have sought to legitimize infringements of international human rights and humanitarian law since 9/11. She makes a compelling argument that legal cultures are central to these effots, and have stubborn and lasting effects. Sanders' work is essential reading for scholars working in international relations and international human rights law, since it raises important and
pressing questions on the on-going struggle to defend human rights and shield them from the excesses of state power.
Rebecca Sanders is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Cincinnati, where she teaches and researches at the intersection of international law, international security, and international human rights.
